Workers at the H&M (Hennes & Moritz) retail store in Dufferin Mall have voted to join UFCW 1006A.
“The experience from the start until now has been just filled with support from the union, encouragement and the goal of creating a better workplace future for us,” said Brandy, who works as a Sales Advisor at the store.
The online vote was conducted by the Ontario Labour Relations Board between October 8 and 9, 2025.
“Union representation empowers workers, transforms workplaces, and ensures fairness for all,” said President Wayne Hanley. “This victory is a testament to the determination, enthusiasm, and commitment of H&M workers. We’re excited to congratulate our newest members on their achievement. Maintaining this same level of unity and participation is vital as we begin the process of achieving a fair first contract.”
The bargaining unit includes 25 new members, who work as Sales Advisors.
“We are proud to help retail workers achieve fairness, respect and dignity at work,” said Lesley Prince, Director of Organizing. “Through UFCW 1006A representation, workers gain protection and a voice at work. We look forward to working with our members to change their workplaces and lives for the better.”
UFCW 1006A worked with UNI Global Union, which brings together workers from more than 150 countries, to petition H&M, a global multinational fashion retailer, to respect the rights of these workers.
These new Local 1006A members join the hundreds of H&M workers already unionized with UFCW in Michigan, Florida and New York.
